Chapter 17

The man on the other end of the phone was uninterested, but he changed his tune at the mention of Stephanie. His stern looked softened, and he seemed to ponder.

Vincent raised an eyebrow, surprised Dominick didn’t just hang up on what he thought was trivial possip.

“She just came out of a prenatal checkup and didn’t want to head back to Wellington Villa yet, so she was wandering around. She ran into Claire at the boutique, and things got…heated.”

“Did she get hurt?” Dominick suddenly asked.

Vincent chuckled, “Nah, but those two were at each other’s throats.”

“You better deal with it,” Dominick said. He seemed busy as he abruptly ended the call

Vincent was stunned, wondering what that was supposed to mean.

It sounded like if Stephanie was hurt, it would be his fault!

“Mr. Hayes…” His supermodel girlfriend whined next to him. “Why do you keep staring at that woman? Don’t tell me you’re falling for her.”

“Baby, go over there…” Vincent instructed his girlfriend with a few words.

Initially jealous, the woman was shocked by what Vincent said next and quickly composed herself. “Got it.” She clicked her high heels and strode towards the shop.

“What did you say? What do you mean you won’t accept my membership?” Five minutes later, Claire was glaring at the boutique manager. “Do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me?”
